When truth dies, everything dies

There is no relationship without truth, and without truth everything else is meaningless. As soon as a friend begins to bend the truth it means they are not really your friend. The spouse who lies to their spouse, similarly, is a dysfunctional spouse. When truth becomes a casualty then love is the real casualty. When truth falls out then everything else falls out. When truth dies, everything dies.

And this is especially true when it comes to relationship to Jesus Christ. If we are untruthful to Him we have no real relationship with Him. His Word searches our hearts and minds, and how do we respond to Him, honestly or dishonestly?

When people take the truth of the Word of God lightly it shows they are not in relationship to the Lord Jesus, even though they may claim to be.
